Everything sour is acidic, the sour taste comes from the hydrogen ions (protons) donated by acids blocking the potassium ions leaving your taste buds, this creates a depolarization and opens voltage gated calcium channels, the influx of which causes neurotransmitter release. Sour gums/candies don't contain Acetic acid (vinegar) but instead Citric acid and sometimes Malic acid.
